<p>How do I search by type signature in rust docs? I tried the examples in the help, but they don't work. See for example: <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/option/enum.Option.html?search=vec%20-%3E%20usize">https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/option/enum.Option.html?search=vec%20-%3E%20usize</a></p>
